## Transcript

- **Russia's sea grain exports fell threefold** In October 2026, Russian grain shipped from sea ports dropped from about 7 million tonnes to 2.3 million, per the Russian Grain Union.
- **Wheat took the biggest hit** Wheat shipments fell 3.1 times, down to 2 million tonnes. That's a lot less Russian wheat leaving by sea in a single month.
- **Ports in use: 43 down to 21** Azov-Black Sea volumes collapsed, while Baltic routes grew. Grain is still moving, but through far fewer ports.
- **What it means for buyers** Less Black Sea supply pushes buyers toward Baltic origin. That can mean tighter export supply for wheat and barley, plus extra freight and logistics cost.
